IBM Calls Linux "Logical Successor" To AIX
pknoll writes "Though it probably won't happen soon, IBM is talking about Linux eventually replacing AIX. The article at Globe Technology states there are IBM folks working on 'chips for 2007' systems, and the viewpoint projected is described as 'multidecade,' but it's an interesting view into the future of IBM and Linux."
I was writing a post on the slashdot, and Michael was like BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP,
and then like half of my post was censored.
And I was like "huh?".
He bitchslapped my posting.
It was a really good troll.
And then I had to post it again and I had to do it fast so it wasn't as good.
It's kind of a.... bummer.
I'm j0nkatz and I'm a slashdot troll.
Don't mod me, bro'!!!!
Yeah - how are we supposed to know what to think? Aren't we supposed to be using /. to do all of our thinking for us?
They aren't interested in putting Linux on the desktop for the same reasons they never put AIX on the desktop.
Crap. I better ditch my 400MHz Power3+ RS/6000 then. Since it's a server, I should certainly not be using it daily as my desktop. Damn shame to have the fast, pretty graphics card in it.
You must be referring to the makers of NT et al; Linux was deliberately made to look like and work like UNIX because the writers did know it so well.
"Plus we have heard that linux is an excellent replacement for legacy *inxs."
I dunno, I think the first couple of INXS albums rock harder than any Linux distribution ever could.
SMIT Rules....I especially like the little animated running man in the X version, and both arms in the air signaling victory after a successful operation.
Much better maintenance tool than other platforms I've used.
Each side has it's own battery backup
Here's hoping those batteries work better than the laptop ones do.... =)
